Steve Gottlieb

Steve Gottlieb is Founder and CEO of Shindig, whose technology enables video chat book tours. In Shindig, participants can see and be seen in a shared environment accommodating thousands of fans. They can move freely in and out of conversation with whomever they chose and at the same time enjoy a talk, presentation or interview of their favorite author, ask questions and potentially be called to share the stage with the author. Still in Beta, over 150 best selling authors have already embraced the platform for Video Chat Book Tours. You can see an overview of Shindig Video Chat Book Tours here, highlights of best selling author AJ Jacobs’ event here or check out any of our upcoming events listed at Shindig.com. For some 20 years prior to the founding of Shindig, he ran TVT Records and discovered a large number of superstar artists from Nine Inch Nails to Pitbull. His 2005 Keynote In The City talk addressing the Major’s failures to deal with technology and the projected impact on the music business can still be heard here.
